A look at roughly how hot your damn motherboards are running. Shows only the DFI LanParty Ultra-D and SLI-DR, but still gives a good idea.

*Shrug* It's in Celcius. I'm to lazy to bother converting them.

What's your reason to back that up? As for me, I live in USA.

It kind of sucks that the US is about the only place that uses Farenhiet, it makes it hard to do stuff, like some times it isn't labeled so you have to guess which one it is. I could live with Celcius, I guess.

Basically because I don't understand the logic behind farenheit. I mean, in celcius, 0 degrees is water's freezing point and 100 is water's boiling point. If you would care to explain to me farenheit I would probably consider them equal (although I would still use celcius because no one over in Canada uses farenheit).

Farenheit is a really old system. It was made with the intent of not having negative measurements, so scientists took the coldest temperature they could make and declared that 0 degrees Farenheit. And they made standard human body temperature be 100 degrees Farenheit. Unfortunately they were a bit off, as human body temperature is known now as 98.6 Farenheit. As well as the fact that there can still be negative measurements in the Farenheit scale, as "the coldest temperature they could make" isn't "the coldest temperature evar!".

Back on topic (as if we ever were): I already new computer components get hot, especially heatsinks, but it's interesting to see the actual statistics of heat.
